The Hand of Fate
PERMANENCE OF WOOD
By Charles V. Stanton
Writing in Crow's Pacific Coast Lumber Digest, Roch
Brarlshaw tells of a huge tree that crashed to arth
TWELVE MILLION years ago. It fell on a spot now 150
feet below the bed of the Yakima river in the state of
Washington. It was a species of Sequoia, now extinct, and
had a diameter of seven feet.
The outstanding and peculiar feature of this discovery is
the fact that the wood was so well preserved that it still
could be measured and identified-
The Forest Products laboratory at Madison, Wis., orig
inally reporting the discovery, pointed out, Bradshaw re
ports, that wood does not decay because of age.
"The truth is," says the laboratory pamphlet, "that
time or age has nothing to do with decay of wood. Decay
is the result of one thing only: the attack of wood-destroying
fungi. Wood which remains absolutely dry, or is per
manently saturated, will not decay. The range of fungus
activity lies between a 20 percent moisture content of the
wood and a soaking wet condition."
Wood Has Permanenct
Bradshaw points out that "when th. White House was
remodeled it was found to contain sound timbers which had
been in nlace since 1816. Despite the fact that some had
been weakened by being partially cut through in previous
remodeling, and the additional fact that others were carry
ing more than the load for which they were designed, these
timbers were still intact, doing their full share of work after
more than 130 years."
Certainly no one would expect to find sound fiber in a
log buried for 12 million years. Yet, when this log was
found during construction of a tunnel under the bed of
the river, it was still identifiable. Its age could b definitely
established by the geological surroundings.
Public Needs Education
The eeneral public is in need of mora education concern
Ing the permnnence of wood. The discovery of the ancient
Sequoia furnishes evidence to prove the claims lumbermen
always have made that wood is particularly to be preferred
over other structural materials because of its adaptability,
versatility and durability.
Some very effective work has been done recently by
the West Coast Lumbermen's asociation toward educating
consumers in 'proper uses of wood for structural purposes.
A large-scale advertising campaign has been very beneficial
to the industry, while, at the same time, saving costs to con
sumers.
If, in addition to promoting proper uses, it is possible
to demonstrate the permanence of wood in ft convincing
fashion, thus selling the idea to the public that wood is to
be preferred, the timber industry will have little to Tear irom
the many substitutes now being offered on the market.

There la some mention ot small

the small boals are being used
to ferry over the rest of their per
sonal equipment, including reserve
small arms ammunition.
The dickens of It, at the moment
of writing this, is that SO FAR WE

That must mean thnt the cover
ing fire of their tank guns is ex
tremely effective. It also must
mean that our defending forces
arc so slim that we can't bring
enough weight to hear at any one
point to stop the Commies.
At this critical moment, an army
"spokesman" goes into action at
the Pentagon building in Washing
ton. Briefing the reporters, he
says:
"American troops in Korea are
not being slaughtered and there is
no Dunkerque in sight up there.
There isn't any djuht in the world
that we are going to hold. Sure
we are. We have got the means to
handle the situation. Hut it takes
time lo build up an offensive.
"But of course it's embarrass
ing and awfully tough on the peo
ple who are up there on the
grindstone."
"IT'S AWFULI.V TOUCH (IV
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE UP
THERE ON THE GRINDSTONE.'
I reckon that just about de
scribes it. It was awfully tough
on the little band of Americans
who went against the German
veterans at Chateau Thierry in
World War I. It was tough on our
boys who got caught on the Bataan
peninsula in the Philippines. Those
who weren't killed were taken pris
oner, which turned out worse than
being killed quickly and cleanly.
It was tough on our marines who
went in on Guadalcanal and had
to stick it out against tremendous
odds until we could begin to get
a little help to them.
Going back i little farther. It
was tough on the minutemen who
assembled on Lexington green
back at the beginning of our War
of the Revolution. Nearly all of
them were killed or wounded in
this first brush with the disciplined
British regulars,
All down through our history,
we have refused to face the mili
tary facts of life. Rut we keep do
ing things iike rebelling against
Great Britain, and going to war to
nelp our friends in Europe and
STOPPING THE MARCH OF
WORLD-WIDE COMMUNISM that
rail for the use of military force
The result is that when the pinch
comes we are too little and too
late and Americans have to go in
at the start against tremendous
odds and sell their lives and their
blood to buy lime in which to get

Asia we're now taking the longest

I I'm sure we'll get away with It
in time. Hut it would be a lot
easier if in the past few years
we had done less talking and more
